OFFICIAL ESTIMATES: One-Seat Majority For Incumbent Parties, Fringe Parties See Massive Support

ORIGINAL (12:04 PM) The first exit polls
from today's big Greek election are out...

The Conservative New Democracy party looks to have secured the
largest vote (17 - 20%).

Crucially it does not look like ND and its rival
center-left PASOK have secured 39-40% of
the vote, falling short of the support they needed to win 151
seats in the parliament. The lack of a majority could spell
trouble for the passage of more austerity measures to comply with
with the terms of Greece's second bailout.

Stunningly, anti-austerity left-coalition Syriza (15.5
- 18.5%) seems to have the second largest share of the votes,
surpassing the typically more popular PASOK.

UPDATE (1:47 PM
ET): The newest round of exit polls are out from
NET (via @lindayueh):

New Democracy: 19-20.5%
Syriza: 15.5-17.7%
PASOK: 13-14%

Once again, this does not appear to give New Democracy and PASOK
enough votes to form a coalition on their own.

UPDATE (2:53 PM ET): According to Dow
Jones, the Interior Ministry has said that New Democracy and
PASOK will hold a one-seat majority. Even so, PASOK head
Evangelos Venizelos has called for a national unity government,
saying that the mandate provided to the two pro-eurozone parties
in the election was not clear.
